Please let me know what you guys think, does it sound bad? good? starter works, but i haven't bought a battery for it yet, i have been using my motorcycle battery, but i took my motorcycle out for a ride this weekend, so that's why i used the pull start. i think there's a bit of a clunking sound from the engine at idle??? is that bad?? let me know please!!!

Hmmmmm.... I don't really hear any clunking sound bro, ....... actually I think it sounds pretty good, like my 125 just a bit deeper... mine has the stock exhaust. If anything maybe I do hear a bit of timing chain slap...... maybe an adjustment there would help? I don't know... maybe one of the other guys with a better ear for this could help? :beer

actually, that trike sounds really strong!! heres my thoughts on the rattling,

it may be coming from the can you have on the exhaust with the hose clamps,

a motor at idle will rattle the little things like that, bacause its not getting steady fuel.
i.e. throttle while riding it. but thats just my 2 cents its a cool ride

well that's good, i'm not sure what those things are supposed to sound like. it sure doesn't sound like my motorcycle. anyways, i bought that exhaust off of ebay - it is a stock pipe, but when i got this "great condition" pipe with "no rust", it was rusty on the spark arrestor. The rust was in a ring and basically, the end fell off. So i cleaned the rust and junk off and the carbon build-up. then i stuck it back on, wrapped it in aluminum foil, then a tin can and cranked some hose clamps down. seems like a good fix to me. sucks that i got cheated on the purchase though.

a lot of subaru engines have piston slap problems
